Check this announcement.

 

[Trev]

Is there a connection here?

 

[RobH1]

Just thought you'd like to know like.

Just thought you'd like to know like.

That someone who runs a site I've never heard of has fallen ill?
Or is he the same Mike that is senior on this (here) site? (Mike isn't exactly a rare name.) In that case we would like to know, but so far I, and I guess Trev, are just confused.

 

[Owen Smith]

a516digital is an excellent site for Freeview and related news, or at least was before the main maintainer became ill.

Yep, that's about the size of it as I had never heard of a516digital.

It's the main source of data for tunefix-update (and yes, I already knew about the announcement - I nearly posted about it myself last week).

 

[MikeSh]

Ho hum. Bit late to add it to the bookmarks now. Let us know if it doesn't disintegrate, or whatever websites tend to do when there's no-one in command

Agreed Owen.

Sorry Trev, thought you were au fait with this site as it's been mentioned many times in the forum.

Somebody has updated a516digital - recent news includes Talking Pictures TV moving multiplex (to ArqB/COM6). In fact, someone is updating it as I'm typing this.
BTW. I'm surprised some of you had never heard of a516digital. a516 has appeared on the Digital Spy forum since 2008.

 

[gomezz]

Have to confess to not being someone who has stuck in my mind as a reliable authority.

2008 is probably the last time I visited DS, or any other sites, in anger, so to speak. This here has been my primary TV source, with excursions only due to being pointed elsewhere for specific info by either posts here or a Google search for something.
It's part of my "If it ain't broke don't fix it" philosophy

 

[RobH1]

So far, this has been a BH free thread I miss him already!

 

[Black Hole]

When you have nothing to say, say nothing.

 

[RobH1]

5 mins to reply- ex Usain eh?

Won a small bet with myself tho'.
Ok, now I'll go and do something useful.

 

[Black Hole]

When you have nothing to say, say nothing.

...which is more than Boris manages to do.

 

[Trev]

Is that Boris the Spider?

 

[EEPhil]

No, that'd be Boris the [cough] Foreign Secretary. If the results of his appearance at the select committee and his lack of a proper apology wasn't so serious and embarrassing, it might be funny. It isn't.

 

[Black Hole]

Won a small bet with myself tho'.

What was the bet?

 

[RobH1]

That you wouldn't resist posting following my tongue-in-cheek comment.
